Items related to The Gathering
The Gathering, by Joseph Samsen, is the result of a lifetime of investigation into Chinese philosophy, kung fu, metaphysics, and consciousness studies. Based on interdisciplinary research spanning the ritual and shamanism found in the earliest civilizations all the way up to current politics in the United States, The Gathering offers a remarkable number of original ideas regarding spiritual traditions, science, law, ethics, and political change. In addition, The Gathering takes the reader on an adventure into the mysterious multidimensional realms behind the "seen." By recognizing the existence of ghosts, angels, parapsychism, non-physical influences on our society and the many-lifetime, birth/rebirth cycle of each and every human, The Gathering is able to offer cutting-edge new ways of perceiving the world in the hopes that such perceptions would help us question old paradigms and in the end, make us better citizens of planet Earth.
The Gathering includes:
Lessons from the Chinese art of kung fu, important new insights into this ancient evolutionary practice.
Information to help young adults avoid common mistakes when it comes to getting on track with their own personal evolutionary path or life mission.
An introduction to a higher ethic than the man-made ethics written in law books: the cosmoethic.
Comprehensive strategies for social change that consider consciousness-based solutions, political core teachings, and the next chess moves for world peace.
The messages contained in this book can help provide individuals with a deep understanding of human behavior and human politics that is much needed at this time. Beautifully illustrated by Heidi Hanson, The Gathering is a resource for personal evolution and political liberation.

From the Author:
Hi, I am the co-creator of this publication, and I feel like it's important to share how I benefited from being involved with this book. I received an incredible education from The Gathering. Joseph Samsen spent his entire adult life researching metaphysics and made it accessible and easy to understand in this book. I found it fascinating which is why I helped organize the information and launch the book. (There are only a few left for sale so it's not like I'm profiting much from sharing this - it's more that I think the info is very valuable and others may benefit from it too!)
To give you an idea of how educational I find this book to be, I created a list of some of the questions you will be able to answer after reading it:
1. Why do the lines on the palm of the hand reflect personality traits?
2. Why would a person become exhausted and drained energetically simply from having their choices reduced?
3. What can the "Perfect Blend" teach us about healing addictive behaviors?
4. Which 5 elements defy the rules of the Periodic Table and are multidimensional gates that could be utilized for many purposes by the scientists of the future?
5. If you use visualization to heal your body, how long will it generally take to be effective?
6. What is the thermal body and what does it have to do with spending time in the sun?
7. What makes water the provider of all life, and why is simple water the most important ingredient in healing remedies such as flower essences and elixirs?
8. Why does water expand when it freezes whereas everything else in the universe contracts?
9. How do the conflicts in the Middle East reflect a struggle with the one Universal Lesson unique to the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic faiths - the Lesson of Love?
10. What was happening in the nonphysical dimensions after the attack on the World Trade Center on 9-11?
11. How can the "catalytic action" natural to women transform stuck global thought forms?
12. What does the Buddha's caution regarding becoming "trapped in an endless cycle of rebirth" mean? How does this relate to what the Hindu call "samskara"?
13. Why is human DNA flawed on purpose?
14. What creates a phobia such as a terrible fear of spiders, and what are some methods to cure such a phobia?
15. How can you immediately spot a Traditionalist, Modernist, or Cultural Creative?
16. Why is the cause of making School Lunch Programs nutritious the best for catalyzing changes in society in general?
17. What are the deep psychological changes that would occur within each citizen if food became a freely available commodity?
There are 9 chapters. The first 8 are about metaphysics and Chapter 9 discusses politics. I have created brief summaries of some of the contents of each chapter:
Chapter 1. Creativity The symbolism of the human hand. Numerology of five.
Chapter 2. The Three Treasures The three stages of personal development as seen through the eyes of Chinese philosophy: Jing, Ch'i, and Shen. The historical contributions of Shakespeare and Confucius that explain the psychology of the West and East. Why the Wizard of Oz is such a popular movie that touches so many people.
Chapter 3. Basic Training and the New Mathematics Functioning of energetic anatomy, e.g. how acupuncture points are like schools, and "dan tien" like cities. The almost epidemic levels of "past life self-mimicry" humanity is facing at this juncture. Accessible explanations of Fractal Geometry and chaos theory.
Chapter 4. Training the Mind The development of a state called "no-thought consciousness." Explanation of why ritual is the tool chosen by Asian cultures to achieve this state. The story of the Shaolin Temple where shamanic rituals from local village religions were blended with Buddhist teachings creating something very unique.
Chapter 5. Activating the Light Grids Resistance and superconductivity, vacuums and voids, and an introduction to a very important structure of our energetic para-anatomy - the light grids.
Chapter 6. Genetic Restructuring Humanity's confusion at the threshold of a new Era of Consciousness, the true intent of ancestor worship, cellular memories of distant ages and the relationship of Asian martial arts to ancient female spiritual pathways.
Chapter 7. Mountains of Yi The recuperation of "cosmic memories" related to who you truly are and what you've been up to for all of your past lives. The universal information symbolized by 16 archetypal animals. The Six Harmonies: one map of evolutionary development created by kung fu master Chen Po.
Chapter 8. Time Dislocation & Interdimensional Contact Exploration beyond the third dimension. The three types of nonphysical para-citizens, or "ghosts," on planet Earth (Intruders, Blind Guides, and Helpers). Two levels of time distortion - speeding up and slowing down time. The ancient Chinese practices of the I Jing and Feng Shui which show us how to create inner and outer environments most conducive to human evolution.
Chapter 9. Social Responsibility A discussion regarding our social responsibilities as members of a wildly diverse and constantly changing human group. Confrontation of the pathologies of war, nationalism, religious extremism, the death penalty, and the social infrastructures that make such things possible. The words of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America are revisited, and the profound spirituality of their vision is brought to light.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share some information about this book with you, and happy reading!
